Better Together LogoVoluntary Norfolk is working on the Better Together project to help tackle the physical and mental health impacts of loneliness and social isolation. The project covers Norwich, Great Yarmouth, South Norfolk and Broadland.

At the heart of the loneliness help service is a free Helpline where clients can get one-to-one support and professionals can make a referral. Better Together also has a team of Life Connectors who visit clients and help them overcome the practical and emotional challenges of loneliness that prevent them joining in and connecting with others.

Visit the Better Together website for full details about the service, including online referral forms, a map of where we operate, staff contact details and useful resources around loneliness and social isolation.

If you would like help with loneliness and social isolation and to get more involved and active in your community, call our helpline  0300 303 3920
